This vehicle appeared as the hearse in the T/V series 'In Loving Memory'. One lasting memory I have of this vehicle is being asked to enter the London to Brighton run (for commercial vehicles) as part of a funeral cortage. Half way down to Brighton I had the misfortune to run into the back of the 'Mourning' car which was just in front of me, causing some minor damage to headlamp and front wing. However worse was to come when the organisers of the run took a dim view of our 'portrayal' and banned us from entering again! 92 FLU is still around, but has since been re-registered, and would need a lot of work done to it if it was ever to appear in films again. Cheers for now. Jim Stringer (Vintage Austin Register)
